  SPECTRUM NUMISMATICS WINS SECRET OHIO CLOSED-BID COIN AUCTION
  

  Guess what? According to a March 31 report in The Toledo Blade,
  "The state of Ohio announced today it rejected a series of closed
  bids from dealers and instead sold a batch of rare coins and
  currency connected to a state scandal to Spectrum Numismatics
  International for $7.5 million.
  

  The stock of collectibles was part of a $50 million Ohio Bureau
  of Workers? Compensation investment with former Toledo-area coin
  dealer Tom Noe and is now part of the evidence in a criminal case
  against him.
  

  The $7.5 million bid was the pre-set minimum that Spectrum agreed
  to pay if a so-called auction ? one held over several days in a
  secret location and open only to select dealers who provided
  $10,000 deposits ? did not raise more.
  

  Six other bidders placed bids totaling nearly $2.03 million on 37
  of the 100 lots for sale, said Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro?s
  office. Bidding was from March 21 to Wednesday."
